The first book was much better than this one!

I liked Mr Ramsey (aged 55) and his dog, but the author’s plan to have him rely upon and build a relationship with a 19-yr-old young woman was positively creepy! He looked to her as his unpaid assistant in investigating the mystery but he did not dissuade her romantic advances. This would have been a better plot if the woman had been at least 40! The story was as depressing as the gloomy, rainy weather. Adding hot tea did not make this a cozy mystery!! Your life will be sunnier if you skip this book!
